There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A littleknown fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated(估计) to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications(暗指) of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

1.The proportion(比例)of older people________.

A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B. is one seventh of the population in developing countries

C. will increase much faster in China than in France

D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

2.According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A. The diseases and disability of older people.

B. The longer life and good health of people.

C. The loss of taxes on older people.

D. The increasing respect for older people.

3.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C. Providing free health care for sick older people.

D. Supplying lifelong learning programs to older people.

4.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B. population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

C. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem

Hi Grace,

How’s it going? Sorry I haven’t emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!

I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn’t fit and I wanted to get some exercise. But that wasn’t the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students who play sports do better at school. 1. Exercise also helps learning and memory.

2. First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before and I thought it wouldn’t be too bad. I knew I couldn’t run for very long without feeling tired. On the first day, I was able to run for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired that I couldn’t even kick the ball!

Then, I tried volleyball. 3. I was able to run for the first twenty minutes and I wasn’t the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks, I could run faster and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 4. Maybe I’m not a team sport person after all!

Finally, I tried Kung fu. It’s a great sport that exercise the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the right sport for me! 5. I feel so confident that I even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?

I hope you’re OK! Write and let me know what you’ve been doing!

Bye for now!

Kristie

Before the law sits a gatekeeper．To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law．But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment．The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on．“It is possible，” says the gatekeeper，“but not now．” ①The gate to the law stands open，as always，and the gatekeeper walks to the side，so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside．When the gatekeeper notices that，he laughs and says:

“If it tempts you so much, try going inside in spite of my prohibition． But take note． I am powerful． And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper． But from room to room stand gatekeepers, each more powerful than the other． I cannot endure even one glimpse of the third．”

The man from the country has not expected such difficulties: the law should always be accessible for everyone，he thinks，but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat，at his large pointed nose and his long，thin，black Tartar's beard，he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside．The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate．There he sits for days and years．He makes many attempts to be let in，and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests．The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly，questioning him about his homeland and many other things，but they are indifferent questions，the kind great men put，and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet．The man，who has equipped himself with many things for his journey，spends everything，no matter how valuable，to win over the gatekeeper．The latter takes it all but，as he does so，says，“I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything．” ②

During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously．He forgets the other gatekeepers，and this first one seems to him the only barrier for entry into the law．He curses the unlucky circumstance，in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud; later，as he grows old，he only mumbles to himself．He becomes childish and，since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has also come to know the fleas(跳蚤) in his fur collar，he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper．Finally his eyesight grows weak，and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him．But he recognizes now in the darkness a ray of light which breaks out of the gateway to the law．Now he no longer has much time to live．

Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper．He waves to him，since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body．The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him，for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man．③ “You are insatiable(不知足的)．” “Everyone strives after the law，” says the man，“so how is it that in these many years no one except me has requested entry？” The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and，in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing，he shouts at him，“Here no one else can gain entry，since this entrance was assigned only to you．I'm going now to close it．” ④
